(Ecclesiastes 9:10) Although his life is complicated—like all of our lives—one thing is clear about Your servant, Solomon: You blessed him with wisdom. In Your grace, Father, You gave Solomon the opportunity to ask for anything in the world, and when he specifically requested wisdom and discernment, You granted it to him. When we read his wise words in books like Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes, we know that wisdom is ultimately from You, Lord. And in Ecclesiastes, Solomon pushes his readers to work at whatever You’ve given them “with all [their] might.” In light of that piece of wisdom, Father, bless ___ with perseverance, motivation, and determination to put all the effort possible into their sport. Use ___ to set an example of dedication, commitment, and hard work for their teammates and even their opponents. Encourage ___ to always play “with all [their] might”—despite their circumstances, despite their success, despite anything trying to pull their down. Give ___ a work ethic that is fueled by Your Holy Spirit, Father. Amen.
